After settling the matter of Yi'an's ex-boyfriend, Lin Yunze easily asked for leave from school and prepared to leave for Beijing.

Before leaving, Yi An grabbed her and asked, what are you doing in Beijing. It's going to be the end of the semester, why do you still ask for leave?

Lin Yunze pulled her aside, and after listening to her promise that she wouldn't say it, she said, "I'm going to audition." ”

"Auditions?" Yi An asked stupidly, "What kind of mirror to try?" ”

"Director Xie Jia's new play-"

"What!" Yi An suppressed her voice, but she couldn't suppress the surprise in her heart, she almost screamed to interrupt Lin Yunze's words, she couldn't believe that what she said was true, "What role are you going to audition for?" Yi An found that her voice was actually trembling, and she took a deep breath to steady her feelings.

"Heroine." was interrupted by Yi An, and Lin Yunze did not show unhappiness on his face. Seeing the girl's reaction in disbelief, she felt happy in her heart. It's like when you play cards, people think you only have four threes in your hand, and you end up with a pair of ghosts. There is a thrill of prank success.

"Wait...... Is Xie Jia the Xie Jia I thought I was? Yi An turned her head and asked, she still didn't react.

"Then how many Xie Jia do you think made the movie?" Lin Yunze threw the question back and waited for the girl to answer.

"Hmm-" The girl's frowning and thinking was very cute, so Lin Yunze couldn't help but reach out and poke her cheek, "Don't think about it, the eight characters haven't been skimmed yet." Whether you can choose it or not is another story. ”

Although he said so, Lin Yunze felt that she had a high probability of being selected, as long as there was no dark horse like her on the scene.

After arriving in Beijing, Lin Yunze stayed in the hotel arranged by Sister Qian. Since the last time she signed a contract with Zhou Jing's studio, Zhou Jing's agent, Sister Qian, has become her exclusive agent.

For the final sprint, Lin Yunze arrived in Beijing two days early. After arriving at the hotel, she only had time to put down her luggage, and she was dragged by Sister Qian to the studio to find Zhou Wei. It was up to Zhou Jing to guide her.

Since they only got one-third of the script, the rest of the plot and character psychology can only be speculated based on this one-third of the script. Lin Yunze had thought of four or five stories before, and each story had its own characteristics, but she couldn't guess which one the story was in the director's hand.

After simulating each kind of story, the image of Midsummer became more three-dimensional in her mind. lost her father at a young age, grew up in the disdainful eyes of her classmates, and finally formed a family when she became an adult, but her husband went bankrupt and drank too much to beat her. She thought that the child was the salvation of her life, but the reality never refused to be gentle.

Lin Yunze has been thinking about what the ending of midsummer is. Whether he was imprisoned by Xu Chong, or the golden cicada came out of his shell and has been incognito since then. She felt that Midsummer was a smart woman, and if she wanted to live, she had a way.

After Zhou Wei corrected her a few more words, he asked her to stop practicing: "Let's practice here today." If you keep practicing, you won't have to eat dinner. Seeing Lin Yunze stop, she exhaled and felt a lot more relaxed in her heart.

She hadn't seen her for a few weeks, but she felt that the girl had changed a lot. The girl was originally very thin, but her face was full of collagen and some baby fat, but now in order to act, she is so thin that her cheeks are sunken. Because of her thinness, her skin is not in very good condition and is a little dull. A pair of beautiful eyes are more prominent because they are thin. Lin Yunze's eyes are not big, but they are very narrow, the tails of her eyes are slightly upturned, and when she lowers her eyes, there is a natural fragility between her eyebrows, as if she will be broken when she touches it. But when she raises her eyes, you will find that her eyes are a different scenery, and her eyes are bright and full of aura.

This appearance coincides with the midsummer in her heart. is different from the midsummer that she deliberately imitates in private, this is a naturally carved midsummer, as if the woman standing in front of her is midsummer. Midsummer is her.

As soon as the two-day emergency training time arrived, Lin Yunze was taken to the audition site. Unsure of the audition, she wore a versatile outfit — a black turtleneck sweater with a dark blue plaid jacket, skinny jeans underneath, and a pair of black leather shoes. No matter who wears this set, they will look young, but it also blurs Lin Yunze's real age.

She arrived quite early, and there were not many actors auditioning yet. When they saw Lin Yunze, they looked jealous.

Lin Yunze glanced at an agent who was talking to Sister Qian, and felt that what they were afraid of might not be themselves, but the person behind Sister Qian. She lowered her head and closed her eyes, intending to use the time she spent waiting for the audition to go into the system again.

Because she has been doing Yi'an's strategy, she has accumulated a lot of gold coins. It cost a thousand gold coins to upgrade the system before. Now the system can construct a picture based on what she has in mind.

The more she thinks about it, the more comprehensive she thinks about it, the clearer the picture will be displayed by the system.

Lin Yunze opened his eyes.

She was standing in the middle of the living room, with glass shards strewn on the floor. She felt some pain in her forehead, so she reached out to touch it, only to touch a slippery one.

When I took my finger to my eyes, it was bleeding.

She turned her head to look at the bedroom again, and the murderer who had wounded her was already lying on the bed, drowsy. There was a pair of shoes missing from the entrance, and she remembered that her son had gone to the park with the neighborhood kids after lunch.

Her heart was beating fast, and she clenched her hands and told herself that there might only be such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. She didn't have time to clean up the glass shards on the floor, so she tiptoed out the door.

She put her hat up and walked down the street avoiding people. It was a road she hadn't walked for years, but when she set foot on it again, she realized that she hadn't forgotten it all along.

She knocked on a small door.

The door opened from the inside, and when someone saw her, he said in a trembling voice, "Xiao Xia, why are you here?" ”

Midsummer lifted her hat, revealing a hideous wound.

The old man was shocked, and hurriedly took out the potion and needlework.

After taking care of the wound, Midsummer put back on her hat and told the old man not to tell anyone about her visit. He left lightly and returned home.

Inside the house, the man who had taken sleeping pills snored like thunder. Midsummer cleaned the living room as he snored. Finally she stood in front of the bedroom door, looking at the man who was still asleep, her eyes dark.

She looked up at the clock, and the hour hand was pointing to three o'clock in the afternoon. She knew that her son, who liked to play with his peers, would not come home before five o'clock, and that the effects of the sleeping pills would soon wear off.

She found her phone, made a phone call with a friend, and made an appointment to go shopping later. Then I went to the kitchen and took out the stick bones I bought earlier and prepared the stew. Despite the tight schedule, she completed every step of the stew carefully, meticulously, as usual.

She turned on the gas switch and put the lighter that didn't light next to the stove. With a few minutes left before her friend's appointment, she fanned the fire and gently closed the kitchen door.

Before stepping out of the kitchen, she smiled as she looked at the narrow window of the kitchen. I feel that the weight in my heart is completely relieved at this moment. Maybe in an hour, or thirty minutes, she'll be free again.

Sister Qian couldn't help but shake her head when she saw Lin Yunze who was asleep. She didn't know the truth, and she couldn't help but sigh secretly that this girl's psychological life was so good. Seeing that the audition had begun, she shook Lin Yunze awake: "Don't sleep, wait for the audition." ”

At this time, the actors who came to audition were almost there.

Some of them are waiting for transformation, some are already famous actresses, and some are hovering in the second and third lines of the entertainment industry, but no matter who they are, they all have a certain reputation and excellent acting skills in China.

Lin Yunze has never been published, and in their eyes, Lin Yunze is probably an ugly duck who strayed into the swan flock, and the reason why they are willing to look at her is only because there is Sister Qian standing next to her - or, they see her as Zhou Wei's assistant.

After waiting for a while, the assistant of the crew came over and invited the four actresses into the interview hall. As soon as they walked into the interview room, the door to the interview room was closed, and all sounds in the room were cut off, so that the people waiting outside the room could hear nothing.

It wasn't long before they came out of the house again. Two sad faces, one put on sunglasses as soon as he came out, and walked away quickly in his high heels, and the other shook his head at the invisible agent to her. Each of them is a powerful actor, and this expression makes people can't see any clues.

Lin Yunze stabilized his mind and went into the interview with the other three to listen. After entering, Lin Yunze saw at a glance that there were many people sitting in the audience, including Xie Jia and the short-haired woman she met in 507 last time, and a group of people she had never seen before, they sat in two rows densely, each with a strict expression, exerting infinite pressure on the players who were about to play.

The assistant walked over with a wad of notes in his hand and asked them to draw lots to decide the order of play.

Lin Yunze won the second draw.

After the lottery was completed, Xie Jia announced that they had several topics - "Midsummer Hate", which can be freely played by choosing any scene.

Lin Yunze stepped aside and waited for the audition.

The actor who won the No. 1 lottery first borrowed someone from the director team and asked him to play the policeman Xu Chong. Xie Jia asked her what she chose Xu Chong for.

She only smiled mysteriously and said, "You'll find out later." ”

From Lin Yunze's point of view, the actress seems to have a good chance of being selected. She is already famous for playing bitter roles, and she must have encountered many roles similar to Midsummer in her more than ten years of acting career. In terms of countenance alone, she had the upper hand—her cheeks were slightly large, her cheekbones were high, and her cheeks were sunken. Probably in line with the image of a hard-working woman that people are accustomed to.

She took off her coat, cut her hair, and walked to the center of the stage. With just one change of eyes, the temperament of her whole body was different, and she became haggard and uneasy.
